[ Featuring
the Boys ]
Dad took me across the country to the place that I belong
All the way Route 66, belting out the radio's next song
Getting back where I belong
First morning in my new old home, came slower than I'd like
I woke up, and you came round the corner on a beat up ten speed bike
A curly handle ten speed bike
You said Northern Oklahoma is your home
And I said this is the place where I was born
We were doin' fine
Fifteen turned to sixteen as the days were swept away
Seventeen was right behind with graduation soon to have its day
Time was in the way
You said Norman Oklahoma's my new home
It's the place I think that I could roam
We were doing fine
Ever since you've gone we've been doing time
And the Chisholm Trail ain't got nothing on the path we ride
But I'm doing fine
Wasting time
Since you crossed the line
Four years blew much faster than the wind in early spring
We just wanted jobs to earn some money, find a house, and buy a ring
Find a girl and then buy a ring
Well I moved down to Texas, found my girl, and had two boys
You found someone to love, some land
But we still found some time to make some noise
Get together and make some noise
Norman Oklahoma was your home
And I'll forever be Sooner reborn
We were doin' fine
But ever since you've gone we've been doing time
The Chisholm Trail ain't got nothing on the path we ride
But I'm doin' fine
Wasting time
Since you crossed the line
Northern Oklahoma was our home
On the streets of Enid where we used to roam
Past the Wendy's and the shut down mall,
The women and the alcohol,
People who would try to waste your time
Well the other night a damn thing came to me
Hadn't had to live a day without you since the age of seventeen
Well I'm doin' fine
I'm wasting time
Since you crossed the line
Come on
Ever since you've gone we've been doing time
And the Chisholm Trail ain't got nothing on the path we ride
But I'm doing fine
Wasting time
Since you crossed the line
Norman Oklahoma was our home
On the streets around the town we used to roam
From Lindsey to Chautauqua
All I do is think about you
And how we used to cut up all the time
Well the other night a damn thing came to me
Hadn't had to live a day without you since the age of seventeen
Well I'm doing fine
Wasting time
Since you crossed the line
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm doing fine
Wasting time
Since you crossed the line
